Meet the Team

Massimo Ciociola

President & CEO / Founder

In a prior life he founded Wireless Solutions SpA in 2000, which was then acquired by the Dada Group in Florence, Italy. He became the CEO of Dada’s Iberia & LATAM units as well as the VP of mobile services for the entire group. Max is music and snowboard addicted. His wife says that he never pays attention to lyrics when he listen to music! She is wrong.

COO – Founder Most often referred to as “Fabio’s brother”, his real name is Jonny. He joined MXM and finally decided to ditch his suit and tie for a comfortable pair of sneakers and jeans. A veteran of KPMG and Accenture, with an MBA from Bocconi University, he’s our financial wizard and also handles operations and investor relations. We trust the guy. And so should you.

If you’ve seen the movie Gomorra, you know about Francesco’s roots. If you get him started talking about Android, Apple or anything geeky, stand clear! He co-founded Splinder.com, Italy’s largest independent community of bloggers.

Giuseppe spent the last 10 years engineering music and mobile apps for Dada. He is the most upbeat person in mXm and when he really likes something he makes sure that everyone knows about it. Passionate about photography, you can find him having fun taking pictures all over Bologna.

Valdez’s secret identity is Metaman, he’s got a “meta-explanation” for everything! He spent the last 10 years working on huge content and metadata management systems, but now he’s got a harder challenge, the redesign of the entire metadata ecosystem for music.

Loreto is another guy from Francesco’s neck of the woods, yep, and just as dangerous. Bachelor of Engineering in Naples, he comes from Splinder and later he joined Dada as software engineer. Loreto designs Musixmatch amazing mobile and desktop applications.

Susan has strong roots in digital and mobile platforms mixed with passion for music. Plus she is unflappable even in the face of the thorniest issues. She's also a movie junkie. Well, nobody's perfect!

Having amassed almost a decade of experience on both the publishing and label side of the music industry, most recently managing digital for Sony Music, Antonia is all things Business Affairs. Hot yoga addict, snow sports enthusiast, music fan.
